Friction on the Slides
Clip: Season 3 Episode 3 | 2m 33sVideo has Closed Captions
Nick and Sally use the Micro-ma-boodle to look at the texture of slides.
When Nick and Sally can't figure out why one slide is fast, and another slow, Cat brings out the Micro-ma-boodle so they can take a closer look at the slide surface texture.

you just might be surprised by the things that you find.
"Look very closely?"
With what?
With... the micromaboodle!
It makes the smallest things look ginormous, so you can see what's really happening.
Cool!
So, we can see what's making us slide... or not slide.
But if we're all looking, who's going to be sliding?
When you two can't do what you need to get done, it's a good time to call on Thing 2 and Thing 1.
(Whistling) (Both laughing and cheering) BOTH: Hello!
Now, let's see.
Okay, Thing 1, slide down the slidey slide.
(Panting) (Speaking gibberish) (Cheering) What happened?
It was too fast to see.
No problem!
Let's hit the replay button and take a closer look.
I still don't see anything, Cat.
Let's watch Thing Two slide down the not so slidey slide.
(Speaking gibberish) Wahoo!
(Groaning) CAT: Let's take a closer look.
NICK: Look how rough the slide is.
The other slide wasn't like that.
It was smooth.
I think you're onto something, Nick.
Let's go check.
Okay.
(Squeaking) NICK: This slide is super smooth.
Let me check this one.
This one is really rough.
The slide with the rougher surface stopped us.
And that must be what makes friction.
(Laughing) Now you've got it!
My, aren't you two so clever?
Hey, Fish!
They've got it!
We can go home!
Yay!
Whoa.
Whoa!
Whoa!
Help!
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
Fish!
Super Sally is on the way.
H-e-l-p!
Help!
Whoa!
Super Sally's got you!
And Mighty Nick's got you!
(Laughing) Now, that's what I call spectacular teamwork.
